Looks like I was mistaken re: manure C:N ratios.

One thing I do know: mixing a bunch of stuff together seems to break down faster for me vs. doing a pile of just 1 or 2 ingredients.

Seems like horse manure is nearly that ideal 30:1. So adding it to whatever else you are composting should bring the pile back towards 25:1 Ditto w/ Coffee grounds (which I use heavily).

Thanks for that post PaleMelanesian. Very informative.
